Condition of Babies Head when Born

Tweet

I found some interesting information regarding the condition of your babies head when he/she is born. Caput Head: Occurs when fluid is squeezed into your infants head during labor and delivery. Having said this, your babies head will have swelling on the top or even all around his/her scalp if they are born with a caput shape. Goose Egg : You will feel a goose egg on the infants head which is caused by the breakage of tiny blood vessels under the scalp during labor. Molding: This occurs when the skull bones of your infants head move during labor and delivery, giving the babies head a long and narrow look.

Did it alarm you at all or were you already aware of these "head conditions".
